Northern California’s largest all Ford event now has drag racing, autocross and a car show.

Now in its third year, the Sacramento Raceway Show & Go event is hosted by Capital Mustang Car Club, AED and supported by Sinister Racing.

The early birds were treated to a first ever autocross course at the top end of the track that blended a high-speed straight with tight turns. Everything from stock Fiesta STs to race-prepped vehicles like George Dias’ Lightning and Martin Pond’s event-winning Mercury Zephyr Wagon, which utilizes plenty of Maximum Motorsports suspension, a Cobra IRS, and a 351 came out to kill the cones.

Shortly thereafter, Sacramento Raceway was packed with more than 200 show cars and equal amounts of street and race cars filling the staging lanes. The Capital Mustang Car Club hosted the massive car show with over 20 classes and dozens of trophies. As expected, the hosting club had some hard-hitting show cars, but plenty of show-goers gave them a run for their money with tastefully modified Mustangs from the Fox-body era on up to the all-new S550’s.

The AED-sponsored drag racing feature three classes of varying styles with sportsman and pro-trees with purses up to $1,000 along with a fun-run class that was only $5. As expected, Sacramento Raceway Park produced solid e.t.’s and big trap speeds for the pile of single-digit drag cars, the large number of 10- and 11-second street cars. While the people in the fun-run class were happy just to burn some rubber on the cheap, they too enjoyed the sticky starting line and the newly resurfaced track.

Whether you like to show or go, the Sacramento Raceway Show & Go is a great excuse to hit the track or polish up your Pony for a good time. For more information on upcoming events visit SacramentoRaceway.com.
